   Linux (and other *nix systems, like the BSDs) were doing multiple   
   desktops years, decades before Microsoft and Apple discovered the   
   feature. KDE has long had its own twist to this, adding a second   
   dimension to the desktop space in the form of “activities”. So for   
   example if you set up four virtual desktops, and defined four   
   different activities, then the number of actual desktop displays would   
   amount to 4×4 = 16.   
      
   However, it has long been a limitation of the traditional X11 display   
   server that, in multi-monitor setups, all monitors had to be showing   
   the same desktop.   
      
   Now, KDE Plasma is taking advantage of Wayland to lift this   
   limitation, albeit in a simple way: desktop switching on the primary   
   monitor becomes independent of that of secondary monitors, but all   
   secondary monitors are still restricted to showing different parts of   
   the same desktop.
